Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a vertical electronic connector. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic connectors are fundamental components used to achieve electrical connections and signal transmission. Terminal blocks, as a typical form of electronic connector, usually consist of several metal terminals fixed to an insulating base in an arranged manner. The terminals can be connected to wires or circuit boards via screws, spring clips, or pins. They are widely used in industrial control cabinets, electronic equipment, and power distribution systems. They can group and summarize multiple cables, facilitate maintenance and replacement, and ensure the reliability and safety of electrical connections. Their compact structure and flexible installation adapt to different current, voltage levels, and environmental conditions. They can effectively support the wiring management of complex circuits, improve system stability and maintainability, and are an indispensable key interface component in modern electronic and electrical systems.
[0003] Traditional terminal blocks typically use a screw-driven mechanism that connects to a clamping plate to move up and down, thus securing the wires. However, the screw itself occupies part of the clamping space, resulting in insufficient usable clamping area. To ensure reliable wire fixation, users often need to choose terminal blocks with a clamping space greater than twice the wire diameter. This not only increases the size and space occupied by the terminal block but also affects wiring density and overall layout efficiency. Furthermore, in scenarios with multiple wires being routed together or limited installation space, it increases design and installation difficulty, reduces system integration and economy, and limits the flexibility of terminal blocks in high-density electrical installations. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a vertical electronic connector, including a support base and a clamping assembly, wherein the clamping assembly includes a conductive seat that is inserted and installed inside the support base, the conductive seat being used to insert a circuit board, a pressure plate being slidably installed inside the conductive seat, and a screw screwed to the upper part of the conductive seat driving the pressure plate to move downward to perform a pressing action, the pressure plate and the bottom of the conductive seat having a wire pressing space formed therein, the pressure plate dividing the wire pressing space and the screw.
[0006] In at least some embodiments, a plug rod is fixedly connected to one side of the support base, and a slot is opened and closed on one side of the support base. The plug rod matches the shape of the slot, and in use, the plug rod of one of the support bases is inserted into the slot of the other support base.
[0007] In at least some embodiments, the insertion rod is trapezoidal in shape and is used for lateral limiting of the two support seats.
[0008] In at least some embodiments, a turntable rotatably mounted inside the pressure plate passes through the upper part of the pressure plate and is fixedly connected to the screw. In use, the rotation of the screw controls the up-and-down movement of the pressure plate.
[0009] In at least some embodiments, the support base has a mounting cavity at its front, the conductive seat is inserted into the mounting cavity of the support base, a through hole at the upper part of the support base communicates with the mounting cavity, and the screw body passes through the through hole and is screwed to the conductive seat, thereby limiting the conductive seat in the mounting cavity of the support base.
[0010] In at least some embodiments, a guide groove formed at the lower part of the support base communicates with the mounting cavity. A vertical conductive rod is formed by dividing and bending one side of the conductive base. When the conductive base is installed, the conductive rod passes through the guide groove. The conductive rod is used to weld to the control board, thereby vertically fixing the support base to the control board.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: In this invention, the overall structure is supported by a support base, and the clamping assembly is installed inside the support base. The core of the clamping assembly is a conductive base, which can be plugged into a circuit board to achieve electrical connection. Simultaneously, a pressure plate is slidably installed inside the conductive base. The pressure plate is driven downwards by a screw to complete the pressing action on the wires. The bottom of the conductive base and the pressure plate together form a wire-pressing space. When the pressure plate moves downwards, it presses the wires into the wire-pressing space, achieving a firm clamping. The screw passes through the pressure plate and is screwed to the upper part of the conductive base, providing a driving function. The screw body is separated from the bottom of the conductive base by the pressure plate, so it does not occupy the actual wire-pressing space, thus significantly reducing the required clamping gap. This structure allows the terminal block to clamp larger or more wires without increasing the overall volume, improving wiring density and system integration, while ensuring the reliability of electrical connections and ease of operation, solving the problem of traditional screw terminal blocks occupying clamping space.

[0014] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0015] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0016] Implementation examples, based on Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a vertical electronic connector, including a support base 1 and a clamping assembly 5. The clamping assembly 5 includes a conductive seat 501 that is inserted into the support base 1. The conductive seat 501 is used to insert a circuit board. A pressure plate 503 is slidably installed inside the conductive seat 501. A screw 504 screwed to the upper part of the conductive seat 501 drives the pressure plate 503 to move down to perform a pressing action. A wire pressing space is formed at the bottom of the pressure plate 503 and the conductive seat 501. The pressure plate 503 divides the wire pressing space and the screw 504.
[0017] The above-mentioned upright electronic connector has an overall structure supported by a support base 1. The clamping component 5 is installed inside the support base 1. The core of the clamping component 5 is a conductive base 501. The conductive base 501 can be plugged into a circuit board to achieve electrical connection. At the same time, a pressure plate 503 is slidably installed inside the conductive base 501. The pressure plate 503 is driven to move downward by a screw 504 to complete the crimping action on the wire. The bottom of the conductive base 501 and the pressure plate 503 together form a wire clamping space. When the pressure plate 503 moves down, it presses the wire into the wire clamping space to achieve a firm clamping. The screw 504 passes through the pressure plate 503 and is screwed to the upper part of the conductive base 501 to play a driving role. At the same time, the rod body is separated by the pressure plate 503 and the bottom of the conductive base 501 so that it does not occupy the actual wire clamping space, thereby significantly reducing the required clamping gap.
[0018] In this embodiment, a rod 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the support base 1, and a slot 7 is opened and closed on one side of the support base 1. The rod 6 and the slot 7 are shaped to match. When in use, the rod 6 of one support base 1 is inserted into the slot 7 of the other support base 1. The rod 6 is trapezoidal and is used for lateral positioning of the two support bases 1.
[0019] A rod 6 that matches the shape of the slot 7 is fixed on one side of the support base 1. When in use, the rod 6 of one support base 1 is inserted into the slot 7 of another support base 1. The rod 6 is trapezoidal in design, and its wider bottom fits tightly with the slot 7, so as to achieve reliable limiting of the two support bases 1 in the lateral direction and prevent adjacent support bases 1 from being displaced or misaligned. Meanwhile, the gradually narrowing structure of the trapezoidal insert 6 guides the support base 1 to be accurately positioned during installation, improving assembly accuracy and stability. This design not only ensures the lateral positioning accuracy of the support base 1, but also facilitates quick insertion and disassembly, improving the overall assembly efficiency and safety of use.
[0020] In this embodiment, a turntable 505, rotatably installed inside the pressure plate 503, passes through the upper part of the pressure plate 503 and is fixedly connected to a screw 504. In use, the screw 504 rotates to control the pressure plate 503 to move up and down. The support base 1 has an installation cavity 2 at the front. The conductive seat 501 is inserted into the installation cavity 2 of the support base 1. The through hole 4 on the upper part of the support base 1 communicates with the installation cavity 2. The main body of the screw 504 passes through the through hole 4 and is screwed to the conductive seat 501, thereby limiting the conductive seat 501 in the installation cavity 2 of the support base 1. The guide groove 3 on the lower part of the support base 1 communicates with the installation cavity 2. One side of the conductive seat is divided and bent into a vertical conductive rod 502. When installing the conductive seat 501, the conductive rod 502 passes through the guide groove 3. The conductive rod 502 is used to weld to the control board, thereby fixing the support base 1 vertically on the control board.
[0021] The pressure plate 503 has a rotating turntable 505 inside. The turntable 505 is fixedly connected to the screw 504 through the connecting part passing through the upper part of the pressure plate 503. When in use, the rotation of the screw 504 drives the turntable 505 to move the pressure plate 503 up and down, thereby realizing the pressing or releasing action of the wire, thus completing the firm clamping of the wire. The support base 1 has a mounting cavity 2 at the front. The conductive seat 501 is inserted into the mounting cavity 2. The conductive seat 501 communicates with the through hole 4 opened on the upper part of the support base 1. The main body of the screw 504 passes through the through hole 4 and is screwed to the conductive seat 501, so that the conductive seat 501 is reliably limited in the mounting cavity 2, preventing the conductive seat 501 from loosening or shifting during use. The lower part of the support base 1 has a guide groove 3 that communicates with the mounting cavity 2. One side of the conductive base is divided and bent to form a vertical conductive rod 502. When the conductive base 501 is installed, the conductive rod 502 is correctly guided into place along the guide groove 3 to achieve welding connection with the control board, thereby vertically fixing the entire support base 1 on the control board and ensuring structural stability and electrical connection reliability. This design uses a screw 504 to drive a pressure plate 503 to achieve wire crimping, while a guide groove 3 guides a conductive rod 502 to complete welding and fixing. It takes into account mechanical clamping, electrical connection and assembly accuracy, effectively improving the installation efficiency, safety of use and overall stability of the terminal block, enabling electronic connectors to achieve reliable and fast installation and maintenance in high-density wiring and multi-wire combination scenarios.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The overall structure is supported by the support base 1, and the clamping component 5 is installed inside the support base 1. The core of the clamping component 5 is the conductive base 501, which can be plugged into a circuit board to achieve electrical connection. At the same time, a pressure plate 503 is slidably installed inside the conductive base 501. The pressure plate 503 is driven to move downward by the screw 504 to complete the pressing action of the wire. The bottom of the conductive base 501 and the pressure plate 503 together form a wire pressing space. When the pressure plate 503 moves downward, it presses the wire into the wire pressing space to achieve a firm clamping. The screw 504 passes through the pressure plate 503 and is screwed to the upper part of the conductive base 501 to play a driving role. At the same time, the rod part is separated from the bottom of the conductive base 501 by the pressure plate 503, so that it does not occupy the actual wire pressing space, thereby significantly reducing the required clamping gap.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields.
